Every six months marks the interval for inspecting your rigging equipment. As previously mentioned, these inspections encompass a wide range of aspects aimed at determining whether your equipment is in optimal condition, ensuring the seamless commencement or progression of your project.

Delivery times may vary depending on the specific order.

Rigging equipment serves a pivotal role in the secure and proficient transport of substantial loads within construction and industrial settings. This comprehensive array of tools encompasses chain blocks, winches, lever blocks, cranes, mechanical hoists, block and tackle systems, trolleys, lifting slings, pulleys, sheave blocks, and an extensive assortment of other specialised devices.

Rigging can be categorised into two distinct classes: standing and running. Standing rigging pertains to the structural support provided to the mast and bowsprit in marine construction, while running rigging encompasses the intricate processes of raising, lowering, shaping, and controlling the sails of sizable vessels, typically those used for commercial purposes.

Standing rigging refers to support that is fixed in position, and supports heavy loads in a construction or industrial setting.

The distinction between lifting and rigging lies in the fact that lifting pertains to the utilisation of equipment designed for the elevation, rolling, sliding, or hoisting of substantial objects, such as machinery and materials. On the other hand, rigging equipment, such as wire rope, turnbuckles, clevis, and jacks, finds its application in conjunction with cranes and other lifting equipment for material handling and structural relocation.

The most common errors and problems encountered during rigging inspections include the absence of or unreadable tags on rigging equipment, damage to synthetic slings such as cutting, tearing, UV deterioration, or exposure to chemicals, deformation or bending of links in alloy chains, wire rope issues like breakage, corrosion, or deformation, hardware breakage or damage, and the presence of makeshift or altered devices and equipment.

Rigging serves the primary function of transferring substantial loads within construction and industrial environments. It encompasses the procedures required to safely secure and relocate loads or structures by utilising ropes, cables, chains, and a variety of mechanical devices and fixtures. This meticulous approach ensures the secure lifting, movement, or controlled restraint and anchoring of these entities, thereby promoting operational safety and efficiency.

Our warranty policy is to disclaim all warranties, whether expressed or implied, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a specific purpose, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Synthetic slings are assemblies designed for lifting purposes when connected to a lifting mechanism. The upper part of the sling connects to the lifting mechanism, while the lower part provides support for the load. Prior to use, ensuring the durability and optimal condition of your slings is essential to protect materials from potential damage and to safeguard riggers from injury.

Wire rope stands as the most prevalent choice in rigging due to its remarkable utility, versatility, and durability. Wire ropes can be coated or galvanised to protect them from the outdoor elements and corrosion from wear and tear.  Available in various sizes and specifications, Keble’s Trading proudly offers a diverse range of wire ropes, which can be customised to suit your unique requirements.
